Patent number: 12218841Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for improving network packet transmission performance in terms of latency with reduced packet retransmission times and fewer packet drops in congested networks are provided. Packet-switched networks can experience long delays while waiting for out-of-order packets or re-transmissions of lost packets. In addition, network faults such as transmission path failures can result in excessive delay while attempting to find a new route over which to transmit packets. To improve packet transmission performance, application data may be encapsulated into first network packets by a first transport protocol having an interface exposed to the application, in the first network packets may be encapsulated into second network packets according to a second transport protocol. The second transport protocol can enable the second network packets of a same packet flow to be transmitted across multiple paths over the network.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2019Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Leah Shalev, Georgy Zorik Machulsky, Peter Nicholas DeSantis, Nafea Bshara, Omer Ilany

Patent number: 12218718Abstract: Channel state information (CSI) can be transmitted to a network node incrementally to increase network efficiency. The CSI feedback framework can be enhanced by allowing a user equipment (UE) to report multiple sets of CSI feedback, where each set can comprise a rank indicator (RI), a pre-coder matrix indicator (PMI), and a channel quality indicator (CQI). Since a different set may have a different sub-band, the CSI feedback framework can support the sub-band rank, wherein rank data from a wideband and the sub-band can be used by the network.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2023Date of Patent: February 4, 2025Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Xiaoyi Wang, Arunabha Ghosh, Salam Akoum

Patent number: 12212983Abstract: An automated method is provided for mitigating data service system performance degradation due to excess user traffic. A traffic assessment and management server (TAMS) retrieves historical time-varying environment information and transaction data for a data service processing system (DSPS).

The estimated traffic information includes an estimated usage level for at least one system component. The TAMS establishes a simulated system configuration for the DSPS and simulates DSPS operation using the estimated traffic information.
